HART SAVED MY LIFE,” SAYS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT "If it had not been for Dr. C. J. Hart I would not be living today,” nays this high school student. "In September of 1950 I was hit on the head by fall ing plaster and knocked unconscious for a few’ minutes. When I came to myself I was suffering with a tremen dous headache. I was x-rayed twice but nothing could be found to cause my trouble. Meanwhile I became so nervous I could not sleep without sedatives. *”I suffered continuously with my head for two w’eeks. A friend advised me to consult Dr. Hart. With the aid of an instrument, he called the Neurocalograph, he found the cause of my trouble and two days later I was com- pieiely free of pain. For the first time in two weeks I was able to sleep normally. My appetite returned and I regained the lost weight. ^ “I can definitely state with honesty and sincerity that it it had not been for Dr. C. J. Hart of Laurens, S. C., I would not be living today.” above letter is just one of the many on file in our office telling of the wonderful results with MODERN SCIENTIFIC CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH CARE.
